FAU stadium marks new era

September 28, 2010

Congratulations to FAU, as they embark on an exciting new chapter of university life! On-campus stadiums traditionally generate a campus life component that keeps students on campus and draws alumni back to campus. As an alumnus of FAU, I look forward to taking part in the many celebrations and events that will happen at the stadium and the Marleen & Harold Forkas Alumni Center — events that generate a heightened excitement and tradition for FAU. Florida Atlantic University has become part of the community of Boca Raton, and this is a day that shall be celebrated by all residents of our fine city for many years to come. I applaud all of the people who worked so diligently, over many years, to bring this idea to fruition and can't wait to spend that first Saturday afternoon in our new football home, the FAU stadium.
